Ok, if you like sports, let alone boxing you'll love this book. Robert Anasi is a writer and basically chronically his journey of getting prepared and ready for the Golden Gloves tourney, the thing is he's about maxed on the age limit. This is a raw and detailed story of his journey, I recommend it. If you like boxing, you will LOVE this book.

Just before he ages out of the Golden Gloves, the author decides to make one last try for glory. Unfortunately, the book is more about the not-so-interesting characters he comes across instead of about how, at 33, he prepared to fight. Maybe that's just what I was looking for and that led to my disappointment.

Transforms the hackneyed "writer trains for fight" formula into something involving and fresh, mainly because the writer was a boxer before he was a writer.
An involving, illuminating look at the sport at the bottom of the organized competition ladder.

I have read this a few times. It is really, really good. If you are involved in boxing, you will relate to the authors experiences. The author is also a writer, so the writing style is very good. It does however contain some strong, strong language.

Great insight into how boxing can alternatively make you feel supremely self confident then completely useless in a matter of seconds. It's a constant ebb and flow that happens hundreds of times in the short three minutes of each round.
